It’s time for another art vs artist!
So interesting to go back and look at my favourite work from the past year. 2024 was definitely a year of artistic growth!

I recently took the amazing Illustrated Children’s Books from @zoe_tucker and @lillarogers . 5 weeks of daily drawing, sketching, and painting our characters.  I challenged myself to paint as much as I could in gouache before scanning & adding details in Procreate. #matsicb #kidlitart #picturebk

Some cheerful sunny friends on the easel! Excited by the beginnings of this new large piece, inspired by the sunflower field I walked in this summer. These will get lighter and brighter as I map in the values.

Finally finished my peony mural in my powder room. I started this a year ago & have been working away at it in fits & starts when I’ve had time. It’s hard to photograph in such a narrow room. Feels like you’re enveloped with flowers in a lush soft garden.

Musicking. My youngest is studying jazz composition at uni, and they talk about this often. It means the act of making music - with any instrument, voice, noise-making, rhythmic rambunctious sound.
